    I had a -3k rubles bill when they were like 30:$1 for browsing supposedly free services from my mobile carrier. Dad didn’t touch me, but the look in his eyes was more painful than that. It was a great lesson in not trusting random ads and free stuff.

      Not being a dick, asking honestly. Was it rare to not get beat in Russia?

        Maybe? My generation (millenial) had troubles with many kids lacking fathers who ghosted them or disappeared completely and not being educated by a combo of a mother and gramps. I feel lucky I had a complete family and one that was liberal enough to not touch me at all. Many of my friends didn’t have that favor. A soulcrushing amount of them had just a mom, one that was depressed enough to scream at them and beat them when they didn’t toe the line. Today it seems better in general, but less pairs even agree to have a child in this economy.

        That’s gotta be like saying isn’t it rare to not get shot in America.

        (Am American, but have met some pretty cool dudes from Russia before lmao.)
